Memorial Day

Memorial Day is supposed to be a day when we remember what brave men and women have done to protect our nation in times of war. We are blessed beyond belief to be Americans. Many of our relatives, children and grandchildren are dispatched around the world fighting to preserve freedom. But the vast majority are not serving in the military, either by personal choice or because they are too young, and they need to understand the significance of the sacrifices made on their behalf. Take a few minutes now to remember those who gave their lives to protect and defend our freedom.

"God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him"  Romans 5:8-9

I would like to now tell you about the greatest sacrifice made in the history of mankind.

Jesus of Nazareth, gave His life on the Cross so that men and women could be free from sin, and judgment, and Hell. This is the greatest sacrifice anyone ever made for mankind. The Son of God was arrested, beaten, mocked and thrashed. They spit on His face, and beat Him over the head with sticks of wood. And then they nailed His hands and feet to a Cross. As His life-Blood poured out through those wounds, He prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" Luke 23:34.                

                                  He did all of that for you !

What can you do to honor him?

Read the bible and learn accordingly from the word.

“And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved(Acts 2:21).

“And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38).
